It might, I have a GTX 1060. I know the option is there in the Nvidia control center for 4K and 60hz, and the screen does display on it with no issues other then everything microscopic at 3840 x 2160. If it is doable, I will see if/how I can change it to make it work to see better

Go to Windows Settings and change your Display Scaling to either 125% or 150%.
The setting is found under All Settings/System/Scale and Layout.

I'm running a 1440p monitor and had to bump it up to 125%.

This should work for all pop-ups and such. For your radio you can right click and set size I believe in game.

It should let you go larger than 150%.  My setting goes all the way up to 225%.

Found it, had to do a custom setting to get over 150. Ill monkey with it and see if 150 or 200 is what I need, depending on what program is running. Thanks for the help <S>

I have used a 27" curved Samsung 1920x1080 with 60Hz refresh rate monitor for the last few years.  I didn't find 27" too large for the resolution, though I wouldn't go any larger than 27".

I am getting the same monitor tonight, and my question is do I need to change any settings for the view? On my current 22" flat I use (I think) 109 degrees of view.

I am thinking it will be up to you. FOV is a matter of preference.

I'd like to ask for a monitor recommendation while you fellows are around. My asus rog 27" 144hz is fading. Lots of color washout on the bottom 1/4 and growing. For a i7-6700 with a 1080 gtx system. :cheers:

A couple of friends recently got a curved 32" Lenovo @2560x1440 @144Hz. Costs about €350. Both seem to be happy with it. And it plays nicely on a GTX1070 and 1660 without dropping frame rates too much.
